Good morning. I'm very pleased to be here in Windsor. My connection to the auto industry is that my father worked for almost 30 years with Goodyear. As a student attending the University of Guelph, I had the best tires on my old Volkswagen bus.
Going back to the TPP and its ratification, I just want to be clear: our government has signed the agreement to be at the table. It has not been ratified, and that's the point of these consultations, to listen and to gather the concerns. If Canada does not ratify the agreement, and the other member countries do, particularly the United States, Mexico, and Australia, how do we adapt to the changing marketplace where Canada is going to be sidestepped, particularly by the Mexicans and the Americans, in exporting to the Japanese markets? How will that impact the auto industry and the parts manufacturers?
